Meri support system ko ab aap sabke support ki zaroorat hai, mere pyaar ko ab aap sabke pyaar ki zaroorat hai. Yes Dipi, you are a strong lady, I know there will be good times and there will be tough times too, but I know too, that you will sail well! And always remember, whatever be it, your FFFs, Family, Friends and Fan-Family, hamesha tumhare saath hai! #WeSupportDipika #WeSupportDipikaKakarIbrahim #biggboss12 @colorstv”.

As per reports, a source had stated, "As this is Dipika's first separation with husband Shoaib Ibrahim post the wedding and in a long time, she has carried his t-shirts and jackets as a remembrance so that she can feel his presence while away for three months. She has been very emotional about this." This much-in-love couple is finding this separation difficult, Dipika was teary-eyed when the time came to bid adieu to her husband and family.
Earlier in an interview, the Sasural Simar Ka fame Dipika talked about 'mind game' in Bigg Boss and said that she is looking forward to sharing the house with people from all walks of life. She had remarked, “Bigg Boss is a mind game. I am not prepared for it. Actually, you can’t prepare yourself, once you get into it then you know how it is like. What I like about the show is that people from different backgrounds come together and there are moments of togetherness.”
Recalling that she was offered Bigg Boss last year as well, Dipika was quoted as saying, “It was not a planned move. I have never been calculative with my career. Last year, when I was offered the show I was not able to do it as marriage was on cards but this year I felt let me give it a thought. When everything worked out well, it was like let’s go and experience it. I am a very homely person and to stay inside without my family will be a challenge.” (Also Read: Shoaib Ibrahim Makes It Special For Wife Dipika Kakar On Trailer Release Of Her Debut Film 'Paltan')
